Not sure why but tried to do a review thought I was successful but can't access it again so will try again now and hope I have better luck. I have been wanting to do my thighs for a very long time but do to life and it's curves it has not been possible. In 2004 I had a tt and ba done and was very satisfied with it and it did wonders for my self esteem after being over weight all my life and doing the yoyo dieting for many years I finally decided to lose the weight once and for all after losing 180 lbs was left with sagging skin and worse self esteem then before I lost the weight. Now finally I am able to complete my journey and have my thighs done which is a vertical thigh lift as well as a butt lift with auto augmentation. I am very greatful to have found a great ps and am so ready to finally finish my long awaited transformation. I went on three consultations and decided on Dr Marc Dupere he was very knowledgable answered all my questions completely and fully so that I understood everything, has been extremely accomadating even added an extra surgical day so I would be able to have it done in the small time frame I had to work with I am very greatful to him for that. Now I am just trying to prepair the best I can for surgury and recovery. I have a small child and hope I can manage but have a wonderful boyfriend that has been so supportive and understanding he's wonderful and will be there every step of the way and help anyway he can so that will help a lot both physically and mentally and ease my worries. My stats are 5 10, 145 lbs, 41 years old. That's all for now will update more soon hopefully.

Your before legs looked slim irregardless of the extra skin! How far down the inner thigh does your incision go? Your LBL incision looks great, its so thin. My LBL incident was thick like a pie crust. It went flat but under the skin its thick. Feels like a rope. So i just started using meripac silicone tape on them. I'm getting thighs done 4/25. I'm nervous about the healing in the groin area. Everyone i read about had infections. What was your experience? I appreciate your point of view. I'm heavier going into the surgery than you. Not sure if that's a factor. I gained 20 lbs to regain body fat i was just hanging and looked sad. The regain brought my arms back so now I'm not getting them done they look acceptable.

My insition goes to about 3 inches above my knee. I did have some Lipo done on the inner knee. Yes I was nervous to but other then noth insition opening at the t which is very common they were not big owning a though I had no problems just keep area dry and clean I isrd colloidal silver gel after the first week just to be on the safe side it is good for infection even though o didn't have one I used it as a precautionary as well as polysporine. Nutrition is very important key too lots of protein and avoid salt and processed foods. Good luck with your surgury hope you update would love to hear your experience and outcome.

Not to much to report I keep going through a lot of different emotions scared excited not sure what to expect both pain and results I'm not one to sit around and don't want to over do it but don't want to be a couch potatoe either. Wondering if all the thing others say you need are really needed. I have a meeting with Dr Dupere on Thursday hoping he will be able to do some reassuring and suggestions. Doing all the dos and don't that has been given to me by the doctor and trying to work out as much as I can to help prepair myself plus it's going to be a while before I can again. Hoping I don't get sick my son has just come down with this nasty respatory cough and fever taking mega doses of vit c and crossing my fingers. Will update after meeting on Thursday and maybe some pics if I have the nerve to until then all take care talk soon.

My procedure is at 8 tomorrow have to be there for 7:15 it has been a very emotional couple days but am doing good right now had a long talk with bf and he made me feel a lot better I'm so lucky to have such a great guy and who is so supportive with my journey and loves me and just wants me to be happy. I am not sure what to exspect both pain and out come despite the thousands of reviews I have read everyone is so different and you just don't know. All I am hoping for Is to be able to walk on the beaches the confidence with my son who has been begging to go to the beach and it hurts me so much not to be able to do that with him but I'm very hopeful that that is about to change. I took some pics not the nicest but if they were I wouldn't be doing this and have found everybody else's reviews very helpful and pictures are a big part of the reviews and I hope mine will help somebody else so until after surgury all have a good evening talk to you soon.
